I've heard the same argument stated almost exactly the opposite you wrote abandon. Why would the poor be in such lockstep with the democratic party. If you looked at the most screwed up, poorly educated, highest drop out rate, highest teen pregnancy rates, dirtiest, poorest cities they all have one thing in common. Democratic leadership for the last 3 or 4 decades. The once great cities like Philly, Detroit, DC, Baltimore, Cleveland have become blights.
I think the difference is, yours is a stated opinion backed by no facts while the other is awesomely obvious to anyone looking.
The GOP has had a near strangle hold on the nation in that time, who fucking cares what the municipalities elected in "once great cities"? Did Philly's Mayor declare war in Vietnam? Did Baltimore's Mayor start the fucking drug war? Did Detroit's Mayor give the richest 2% a fucking tax break?
